Annotation: The article assesses the economic implication of microscopy technologies on the global market by creating an econometric model. Microscopic technologies, including optical, electronic, scanning probe and digital micro- scopes, play a key role in stimulating innovation and productivity in various industries. However, the economic significance of these technologies has not yet been fully assessed. The aim of the study is to fill this gap by quantifying the impact of key factors, such as R&D expenditure, the number of patents filed, the level of adop- tion, government funding, technological advancements, industrial output, workforce size, and global economic growth. During the study, a comprehensive review of relevant literature has been conducted, relevant data has been collected, an econometric model has been developed and verified, regression analysis has been performed, and the results have been interpreted. The conclusions provide information on the relative significance of these factors in shaping the global market for microscopy technologies, helping policymakers, industry representa- tives, and researchers understand the economic implications of investing in and developing these technologies.

Annotation: The article postulates the natural commonality of geospheres, biosphere and society with its economic systems. Thus, the phenomenon of life is represented as a unidirectional self-organization of biosystems in the flow of Pri- mary energy. The task of the study is to identify possible anthropogenic strategies for managing the preservation and development of the phenomenon of life. The boundary condition of the issue is determined: the adaptation of two biosystems with different directions of self-organization and inertia under the influence of both internal and external fluctuations. A continuous cyclic process of adaptation of biosystems with statistical and bifurca- tion character is revealed. It is noted that the economic systems of society, providing the phenomenon of life, involving the resources of the geospheres and the biosphere, are hypersensitive to perturbations and adapt in the “online” mode. The identified five adaptation strategies are distinguished by natural spatial localization and combinatoriality. The proposed formalization of natural processes and the revealed patterns can form the basis of a scientific and methodological approach to the search for optimal adaptation strategies.

Annotation: Over the past few years, the attention of regulators to digital assets has increased dramatically, especially after the loss of consumer confidence as a result of a number of high-profile bankruptcies of crypto companies, fraud and irrational use of customer funds which occurred on the market in 2022. The risk to market integrity indi- cates the need for a rapid and global approach to regulatory policy and supervisory system to ensure enhanced consumer protection. In this regard, the topic of this work is undoubtedly relevant. The article examines ap- proaches to the definition of digital assets, considers their classification, and analyzes current regulatory trends in diffenert countries. As a result of the study, a number of conclusions were made. First, despite the lack of a legally established and universally accepted definition of digital assets, they generally refer to anything that is stored in digital form, can be uniquely identified, and that a business can use to generate value. Second, a significant number of countries are conducting research and developing legislation to integrate digital assets, as a rule, into the existing financial services framework, paying special attention to the assurance of reliability, transparency, and the implementation of anti-money laundering and prevention of legalization of proceeds from crime. However, the rate of action, the approaches, the services and products covered, and even the definitions and terminology used remain highly disparate.

Annotation: The article describes the problem of production and consumption waste getting into the environment, which deteriorate its quality significantly. This task is multifaceted, and its solution requires systematic approach. Analysis of the waste accumulation process indicates their significant quantitative growth and the necessity to take more effective actions for their disposal. Certain opportunities for solving the issues under consideration are provided by “green” technologies and cyclical economic models, which have been introduced into practice by a number of countries and have already largely revealed the hidden potential of these resources. In order to revise the approaches to this problem, it is necessary to change its very vision and consider it from the point of view of secondary production resources, on the basis of which new efficient productions can be created. Particular attention in the work is paid to the waste related to the agricultural sector (AS). The article presents the most promising areas for secondary resources recycling. Conclusions are made about the need for a radical change in views on the production of consumer goods (using the example of the AS) and the creation of an industry infrastructure for the rapid exchange and trade in secondary raw materials.

Annotation: This study examines the impact of global economic trends on Russian online retail networks and offers strategic insights for retailers. Through qualitative analysis of secondary data, including scientific literature and industry reports, key trends such as economic growth rates, trade policies, technological advances, and consumer behavior are investigated. The analysis shows that global economic fluctuations, trade policies, and technological innova- tions have a significant impact on Russian online retail. Opportunities for retailers include expanding into new markets and utilizing advanced technology. However, threats such as competition and supply chain disruptions need to be investigated thoroughly. Case studies of successful retailers provide valuable insights into effective strategies for adapting to global trends. These studies conclude with recommendations for Russian online retail- ers to improve their competitiveness. These recommendations include the introduction of advanced technologies, better understanding of consumer behavior, and addressing regulatory issues. Further research could explore specific trends or industries within the Russian online retail market.
